Donald Trump Selects Jeff Sessions for Attorney General

President-elect Donald Trump will tap Sen. Jeff Sessions to be his Attorney General, according to Bloomberg News and the New York Times.

Sessions, the first U.S. Senator to endorse Trump, was rumored for a number of positions in Trump’s cabinet, including Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense but it appears that the former Attorney General of Alabama has been selected for the highest law and order position in the administration.

Sen. Ted Cruz was also rumored for the position after he was spotted at Trump Tower, meeting with the president elect.

The official announcement from Trump’s transition team is expected later today.

In addition, Rep. Mike Pompeo has been selected by Trump as CIA director and retired General Mike Flynn has been selected as his national security adviser.

Pompeo, who serves on the House Intelligence Committee, is popular with the national security hawks in Washington as he supports restoring the intelligence community’s ability to collect bulk metadata. He is also a firm opponent of the Iran Deal and served on the House special committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks.

Correct. The Obamas are racists. As were Van Jones, Eric Holder, and others in his administration.

I read about that. Did you read about how he denied he said anything like that and it was your typical political smear? Reagan appointed him in '81.

Grasping at straws again, Petey. Don't believe everything you read by a hysterical press trying to justify why they threw away their credibility. The racist charge is unfounded, but then again, Trump is a racist too, amirite?

Have you liberals ever heard the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf?

Hell, back in the primaries I even read articles claiming Ben Carson was a racist, too, which dovetails nicely with Abbey being an Internalized Misogynist. The crap that you guys buy into and parrot really defies belief... and I think that's a large component of why you guys just lost everything last week.

I just read his bio. Think you might be stretching it more than just a bit. Turning every word someone says into racist, sexist or whatever is falling on deaf ears here. The biggest bunch of racists there is in this country are politically correct Democrats.

Right! Add Lynch, Sharpton, and Emanuel and you have a 7-Card Stud version of racism.

Trump is going to have a difficult time getting this pick through the Senate. Even some Republicans don't care for Sessions. And some influential organizations oppose him.

I think it is a good choice as they both are highly skilled and experienced professionals (judging by their service records).
It seems that Tramp is on a proper way while forming HIS Cabinet.
I see he uses the approach of a strong businessmen in this case.
Congratulations! :clap:

Bingo!
Cold hard and 100% truth....
Quite easily seen as truth by any person not blinded, hate-filled, socialist, lib , dem , moron or usual dumbass.
Sadly, reality shows us with eyes wide open that we have had engineered millions of such "useful idiots" coming from our totally corrupted public education system..
Only thing that saved us ths election was the fact that hilary is totally corrupt, massively despised and enough of us are alive that was educated before the education system here went to hell and tripled down on its perversion of reality and truth IMHO..-Tyr
